Commercial Prep Stations & Pan Chillers
Commercial Prep Stations & Pan Chillers
Foster commercial prep stations and pan chillers are designed to keep chilled ingredients within easy reach while maintaining consistent temperature control throughout service.
Ideal for pizzas, sandwiches, salads and high-volume preparation environments, these units combine safe ingredient storage with practical working space to support efficient kitchen workflow.
Built for Professional Food Preparation
Foster prep stations feature an integrated raised pan section that positions gastronorm pans within comfortable reach for fast assembly during service. The fan-assisted forced air system supports even temperature distribution across both the cabinet base and the pan area, helping maintain reliable holding conditions.
Standalone prep counters combine refrigerated storage below with the prep top, while dedicated pan chillers convert existing worktops into chilled preparation areas.
Flexible GN Configurations
Multiple gastronorm layouts and 150mm deep pan options are available to suit different service volumes. Optional drawer sections and pan configurations allow you to tailor the unit to your kitchen workflow.
